Cranwell is peculiar for a village of its size in that it does not have a Public House. It does, however, have a members only social club. This dates back to when the cadets training at R.A.F Cranwell during World War II used to come into the village to try and buy alcohol. The members only club was introduced as a deterrent to them, being only temporary residents in the area they were therefore unable to gain membership. To this day, no pub has ever opened its doors to the public, even though the reasons for not having one have long since become obsolete.
